Ce qui a guidé la lecture

Group opener incentives are not desperate: Belgium-Egypt drew 1-1, so both teams can value not losing while still seeing a win as a route to top spot. That supports a controlled, physical game rather than an Iran runaway.
Iran have the cleaner front two in Taremi-Moghanlou with late attacking options from Jahanbakhsh, Ghayedi and Alipour, but New Zealand’s XI is balanced: Wood as a direct outlet, Singh/Just/McCowatt supporting, and Bell-Stamenić protecting the back four.
Away +0.75 gives cover against the most likely narrow Iran edge; Iran -0.5 at 1.75 needs a full home win, while Iran -0.75 at 2.00 asks for more dominance than the lineups clearly justify.

Pourquoi il a fait le board

Complete

New Zealand +0.75 is the best side-family price because their 4-2-3-1 has enough defensive screen, width, and Chris Wood set-piece/transition threat to keep this competitive. Iran are rightly slight favorites with Taremi leading a stronger attacking unit, but the supplied XI does not show enough midfield or pace superiority to price a multi-goal home win aggressively. A draw or one-goal Iran win are live outcomes, making the handicap protection valuable.

Risque principal

Tactical Counter: If Iran’s wide supply to Taremi and Moghanlou pins New Zealand back early, the +0.75 can become vulnerable to sustained pressure and set-piece volume.
